For Windows users who find their PCs or laptops too slow or sometimes even jammed, this article will tell you the very basics to ensure that your computer remains healthy and fast at the same time.
To make it brief, here are some of the tips to make sure your PC works swiftly:
1) Always keep the number of running programs to minimum. Check this from the taskbar hidden icons (near the clock) and exit any unwanted programs.
2) Keep only those icons on desktop which are used often. Always place “shortcuts” on desktop. Do not put actual files on the desktop. A heavy desktop slows down a PC a lot.
3) Run the Windows Disk Cleanup after every four to five days. Windows keeps on creating log files in its directories which slow down the PC. Perform a clean up on the Windows partition frequently (Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup).
4) Use a light Internet browser like Google Chrome or Safari, which will not consume much system resources.
5) Also use a simple and light Anti Virus program like Microsoft Security Essentials. It will give you same protection but with almost no hassle.
6) Clean the Internet Browser history every week.
7) Do not install unnecessary programs. Keep your PC simple and light at all the times.
